De
Longpre Park - a "pocket park" in Hollywood a block south of Crossroads of the World (De Longpre Avenue at June Street) where young Rick Nelson, on a break from nearby Hollywood High, wrote "Travelin' Man"
on a tree-shaded bench, or so he said.The Nelson family lived nearby - for forty
years at 1822 Camino Palermo.The odd thing in this park is the two sculptures
honoring Rudolph Valentino.Go figure.Photographed Thursday, February 2, 2006.

Neither
of these is Ricky Nelson –
